3 Songs: On Repeat

David
Vandervelde – “One More Time” (For Shadow Sides, his third album, the
singer-songwriter recorded directly to a four-track, using no computers for a
purely analog affair. The new album
released as a joint venture between Secretly Canadian, Park The Van and Burger
Records is his most personal yet; dealing with addiction and the death of his
friend and collaborator - former Wilco member, Jay Bennett. Those heavy themes are masked by bright, soul-infused
power-pop melodies with swirling Beach Boys-esque harmonies.) https://www.facebook.com/vanderveldemusic

Death
From Above 1979 – “Trainwreck 1979” (The punk n’ roll duo
returned this week with the release of The
Physical World, their highly-anticipated and long-awaited sophomore album. Out now via Warner Brothers, the reunion album
is a triumphant return that feels both nostalgic and fresh, delivering their roaring
fuzzed-out bass-led grooves, danceable rhythms and sweat-soaked debauchery once
again to a new generation of listeners.) http://www.deathfromabove1979.com/

Floating
Action – “Unrevenged” (Floating Action is the moniker for N.C.
singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Seth Kauffman who recently released
Body Questions, his stunning sixth
album and first for new label home New West Records. Kauffman expertly crafts his catchy pop songs
with eclectic elements of folk rock, Motown soul, and African rhythms which has
made him a favorite of and go-to session player for Jim James of My Morning
Jacket and Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys.) http://floatingaction.com/
